Intended use
The IR-260-8S is a device for non-contact temperature measurement, which uses the infrared energy
emitted by an object to determine the temperature. The IR-260-8S thermometer is ideal for measuring the
temperature of hot, hard-to-reach, or moving objects. It measures the surface temperature of an object.
However, it cannot make measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass or plastic. The
thermometer has a temperature range of -30ºC to 260ºC. Power is supplied by a 9 V battery.
Measurements must not be carried out under unfavourable ambient conditions. Adverse ambient conditions
include:
• Moisture or excessive humidity
• Dust or combustible gases, vapours or solvents
• Thunderstorms or conditions as during a storm (e.g. strong electrostatic elds should be avoided)
This product fulls European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC). CE conformity has been veried and the relevant statements and documents have been
deposited at the manufacturer.
Unauthorised conversion and/or modication of the device are inadmissible because of safety and approval
reasons. Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product and lead
